I'm a digital communication project leader with an online marketing background. I have technical qualifications, business skills, leadership capabilities and international experience working in a big global organisation.

For 11 years I've been pushing the digital agenda within IKEA at national and global level. Part of my remit was to challenge the company's set ways of working and to help steer the organisation from a traditional retail business into a business model where digital becomes the core capability that complements and enhances the physical retail experience.

I am trained and skilled in project management, and have hands-on leadership experience, both as a line manager and as a project manager in medium-sized cross-organisational projects.

I'm at my best when I can use my analytical skills and my talent in spoken, written and visual communication to develop and present business strategies, business cases, project plans and progress reports for top level management.
